How much does a Tesla Model X depreciate each year?
The Model X sits in the ev segment. Applying a segment-average retention curve, it is estimated to keep roughly 78% of its value after the first year and 37% after five years. Depreciation is typically the single largest ownership cost, which is why our calculator shows it year by year alongside every other expense.

Is the Tesla Model X eligible for a federal or state EV tax credit in 2026?
The federal clean-vehicle tax credit ended September 30, 2025, so new EVs no longer qualify at the point of sale in 2026. Some states and local utilities still offer rebates — check your state's page for current incentives. The Model X's lower energy and maintenance costs help offset the lost federal credit.
What are the Tesla Model X energy costs?
The Model X is EPA-rated at 33 MPGe, about 42 kWh per 100 miles. At the 2026 U.S. average of $0.16/kWh that is roughly $4,032 in electricity over 5 years (12,000 miles/year). EVs also skip oil changes, lowering maintenance.
How do Tesla Model X ownership costs compare with rivals?
See the side-by-side comparison table on this page.
